Here’s everything we know about Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt season 4

If, like us, you've had an Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt shaped hole in your heart for far too long, it's your lucky day. Netflix has just announced the details of the upcoming fourth season including the highly anticipated release date. But, there's a catch.

The show, which centres around Kimmy Schmidt (played by Ellie Kemper) - a young woman who is trying to come to terms regular life after being kidnapped and trapped in a crazy cult for 15 years - will return to Netflix on 30 May.

However, I wouldn't rush off to plan a binge-watching weekend just yet as, for the first time, the season will be split into two halves. While first six episodes will drop on the May release date, the remaining half of season four will arrive later this year.

The season split was announced by Jane Krakowski, who plays Jacqueline, on NBC's Today Show.

"Because it's been so long, [we're] going to release the first six episodes on 30th May," she said. "We're going to shoot [the rest] and get them out as soon as possible, so we don't have to make our fans wait so long."
